Goodbye, Things: On Minimalist Living

Decluttering journey towards a fulfilling minimalist life.

If you've ever felt bogged down by possessions or trapped in a cycle of comparison and dissatisfaction, "Goodbye, Things" could be a breath of fresh air for you. Fumio Sasaki's personal tale isn't just about getting rid of stuff; it's a deeper journey into finding contentment and simplicity in a minimalist lifestyle. It's like a guide to mental decluttering as much as a physical one, and it might just inspire you to reevaluate what's truly necessary for your happiness.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

There's happiness in having less. If you are anything like how I used to be - miserable, constantly comparing yourself with others, or just believing your life sucks - I think you should try saying goodbye to some of your things. Fumio Sasaki is a writer in his thirties who lives in a tiny studio in Tokyo with three shirts, four pairs of trousers, four pairs of socks and not much else. A few years ago, he realised that owning so much stuff was weighing him down - so he started to get rid of it. In this hit Japanese bestseller, Sasaki explores the philosophy behind minimalism and offers a set of straightforward rules - discard it if you haven't used it in a year; be a borrower; find your uniform; keep photos of the things you love - that can help all of us lead simpler, happier, more fulfilled lives.
